Grapevines - Stunning brand new luxury European-style townhouse
House with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 6, Garden, Swimming Pool
Overlooking Makrigialos Bay in South-Eastern Crete, Grapevines is a complex of 20 brand new, luxury European-style townhouses set around a private courtyard with a large floodlit swimming pool at its centre. On the private sun-terrace you can sit and enjoy the evening sunshine with superb views over Makrigialos Bay and the ancient mountains of Crete. The house has a private garden and its own allocated car parking space within a gated complex.
Makrigialos is a quiet village away from any nightclub hotspots. It lies east of Ierapetra, along a coastline filled with secluded bays and beautiful beaches. In Makrigialos you will find cafes and tavernas full of character and charm, where you can relax, drink and leave the stressful world behind!
The house has all you need for a comfortable and peaceful self-catering holiday. It features: On the first floor - an open plan lounge with large sofabed, a well appointed kitchen and dining area.
The main living area has 2 private balconies front and rear: a small one overlooking the pool, ideal for morning coffee, and a large one with outdoor dining table and chairs to enjoy the sea view while eating lunch or dinner.
On the ground floor - The main bedroom, which opens out through sliding doors onto a private patio garden, has a double bed and a beautifully appointed en suite bathroom. The second twin-bedded bedroom faces into the complex, and looks out onto the pool area. Another attractive bathroom with bath and toilet is situated between them. Both rooms have ample cupboard space. Access to the middle floor and the roof sun-terrace is by means of a large spiral staircase fitted with gates and child locks.
Further details outdoors - We have provided sun loungers around the pool as well as up on the private sun terrace.

Local activities in and around Makrigialos, Crete
The long beach and several quiet sandy coves provide excellent conditions for swimmers of all experience, including children, due to the soft, gently shelving main beach and clean, crystal clear water. From the port there is a boat which leaves each morning (returning in the afternoon) for the White island ( Lefki or Koufonisia), where the remains of a Roman amphitheatre can be explored.
Makrigialos has a good supply of shops, tavernas, cafes, and water sport facilities, bars, a bank, pharmacy, doctor, dentist, car rental, florist and car service stations. There is a street market each Friday on the cross road to Agios Stefanos, near the harbour entrance.
In traditional tavernas meat, locally caught fish and other local dishes are served. In all restaurants & cafes, the quality of the food is truly excellent and the welcome second to none.
One of the best reasons for visiting Makrigialos in June has to be the fabulous Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival, held here in locations around the village. The Sixth Casa dei Mezzo Music Festival will take place from Friday 19th to Tuesday 23rd June 2009. Visit their website for more information.
Other places of interest: Agios Nikolaos – a picturesque resort where you can enjoy a laid back lunch, take in the Archaeological Museum which houses a modest collection of locally found artefacts or wander round the quayside.
Sitia is within 30 minutes of Makrigialos and is well worth a visit, and the drive alone takes in some fantastic scenery. Agios Stefanos and Pefki, just two of the many beautiful mountain villages, steeped in history, with narrow winding streets, old and beautifully renovated stone houses smothered in Geraniums, Bougainvillea, and vines.
At the hotel complex across the road you can play tennis, crazy golf and table tennis.
Many beaches along the coast offer water sports such as skiing, sailing, windsurfing and even scuba diving, as well as deep sea fishing off the shores of the island.
